| 00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Writer- Creating Newsletters with Multiple Columns. |
| 00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to create newsletters in LibreOffice Writer and a few operations that can be performed on them. |
| 00:17 | Here, we are using:
Ubuntu Linux 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
| 00:27 | A newsletter is used as a publication which gets circulated out to its subscribers in a regular time interval. For example - a periodical, a pamphlet and many more. |
| 00:39 | It has multiple columns as sections and makes it easier for the reader to go through different articles in these sections. |
| 00:47 | Using LibreOffice Writer, one can create newsletters which make reading of articles much easier and faster. |
| 00:55 | Let's open a new text document by clicking on File, New and Text Document option. |
| 01:03 | Save this document with file name Newsletter. |
| 01:13 | So, we have a new text document named Newsletter. |
| 01:17 | Now, let's insert columns into our document. |
| 01:20 | To do so, first click on the Format button in the menu bar and then click on Columns. |
| 01:27 | A dialog-box appears with various options - |
| 01:31 | selecting the number of columns you want, |
| 01:34 | setting the width and spacing of these columns |
| 01:37 | as well as setting the various properties of the separator lines. |
| 01:42 | We will select two columns for the newsletter document by increasing the column field value to 2. |
| 01:49 | The five icons besides the column field show you the preview of the various formats available. |
| 01:56 | So, let's click on the second format. |
| 01:59 | Let's keep all the other values which define the property of the columns as default. |
| 02:05 | And click on the OK button. |
| 02:08 | You see that 2 columns get displayed in the text area. |
| 02:12 | Let us write an article in our first column. |
| 02:15 | We will give its heading as "Nature" in bold text with font size 15. |
| 02:21 | And below that, we will write an article on it. |
| 02:25 | You see that the cursor automatically goes to the next column after it reaches the end of the first column. |
| 02:33 | You can even insert a picture in the column and resize it so that it fits into the column. |
| 02:39 | Now, after leaving out some spaces, you can write another article into the column. |
| 02:46 | So, we will first give it a heading as Sports in bold text with font size 15 and below that we will write an article on it. |
| 02:56 | So, you see, columns make it easier for the reader to go through multiple articles. |
| 03:02 | Let us delete some sentences so that our article fits in the first column only. |
| 03:08 | Then, to access the further columns, click on the Insert button and then click on Manual Break. |
| 03:16 | In the dialog-box which appears, click on the Column break button and then click on the OK button. |
| 03:23 | You see that the cursor comes on the next column automatically. |
| 03:27 | So, you can start writing another article in this column. |
| 03:31 | All the formatting options like- |
| 03:33 | Align left, Align right, |
| 03:36 | adding Background Color to the text, |
| 03:38 | Highlighting the text and many other features |
| 03:41 | can be added to the text to make it attractive. |
| 03:45 | For example, we select the portion of the text to which we want to apply a background color. |
| 03:51 | Now, click on the Background Color icon in the toolbar and then click on Green 4. |
| 03:59 | We see that the background color of the selected text changes to light green. |
| 04:05 | Likewise you can give different background colors to different parts of the text. |
| 04:10 | You can even add banners to the newsletter by first clicking on the Text option in the Drawing toolbar. |
| 04:18 | Now, place the text-box anywhere in the document where there is no written text. |
| 04:24 | Inside the text-box, you can write any text which will act as a banner or ads. |
| 04:30 | So, let us type some text like: "This is a newsletter". |
| 04:35 | You can even add effects to this text. |
| 04:37 | For example- first, right-click on the text and then click on the Text option in the menu. |
| 04:45 | A dialog-box appears which has tabs namely Text and Text Animation. |
| 04:50 | Click on the Text Animation tab. |
| 04:53 | In the Effect field, under this tab, there are various options. |
| 04:58 | In order to blink the text in the newsletter, we click on the Blink option |
| 05:04 | and finally click on the OK button. |
| 05:07 | We see that the text "This is a newsletter" constantly blinks in the document. |
| 05:13 | Similarly, various such effects and graphics can be given to the text. |
| 05:18 | Now, for writing a new article on the next page, you need to first click on the Insert button |
| 05:25 | and then click on the Manual Break option. |
| 05:29 | In the dialog-box which appears, click on the Page break button. |
| 05:34 | And finally click on the OK button. |
| 05:37 | You see that the cursor comes on the next page. |
| 05:40 | This page contains the same column format as on the previous page. |
| 05:46 | For maintaining a word count in your article, first select a portion of your text or the entire document. |
| 05:53 | Now, click on the Tools option in the menu bar. |
| 05:57 | Now, click on the Word Count option in the drop-down box. |
| 06:02 | A dialog-box appears which shows you the word count of Current selection and the Whole document as well. |
| 06:10 | It also shows the total count of characters in your entire document as well as in the selected text. |
| 06:18 | The spell check can be done automatically while writing the document. |
| 06:23 | Click on the AutoSpellcheck icon in the toolbar. |
| 06:27 | Now, while writing the article, if there are any spelling mistakes then 'Writer' automatically shows them by underlining the word with a red line. |
| 06:37 | For example, when we write the word Cat as C -A- A -T and press the space-bar, we see that a red line is displayed below it. |
| 06:48 | But, when we correct the word, the red line disappears. |
| 06:52 | Hence, we see that all the formatting options discussed in the previous tutorials can be applied in the newsletters too. |
| 07:01 | This brings us to the end of this spoken tutorial on |
| 07:04 | LibreOffice Writer. |
| 07:06 | To summarize, we learned about how to create Newsletters in LibreOffice Writer and few operations which can be performed on them. |
